Walk through the Kolomna Kremlin
You can enter the Kremlin from many sides, because there is little what remains is one wall and several towers. On its territory there are two convents, the Assumption Cathedral and several temples. In addition to this there is a Museum of Local Lore, a cafe, restaurants, souvenir shops.
Most of all I was interested in Lazhechnikova street, it is just inside the kremlin It’s not often you’ll meet your surname in urban pointers, Kolomna exception. By the way, the street is very so neat, framed by beautiful building facades. True, the rest The territory of the Kremlin is not inferior to it, green and well-kept. And some country houses are straightforward role models, just so wanted would look like a russian village i would go there first live.
In such a pose, a small fotik looks pretty awesome.

By Kolomna itself, outside the walls of the Kremlin, we almost did not walk, literally walked only through the Old Kolomna to the Museum of marshmallow and all. In warm summer weather desolation and heavily battered buildings look more less, but in the winter and in cloudy weather, I think everything otherwise.

AT The 16th century, the Kremlin was built as one of the largest and most inaccessible. fortresses of his time and was intended to protect the Moscow kingdom from the raids of Kazan and Crimean Tatars.
